Suecificatiou forming part ofLettersPatent ol'l 1.910, dated March 22,11864.

To' cltwiom it may concern State fof Massachusetts, have invented .an Imfproved Salinometer-Gase for Steam-Boilers; "-'audI do herebydeclare the same to be 4'fully 'described in. the following specification, and. yI'epreseirt'fxl' in the vaecompanyingdrawngs, of

Figure lkdenote's 'a front elevation, Fig; 2a. side elevation, while Figs'.` 3 and 4 lare vertical Thejobje'cl; of the improved'salinometer-case, asappliedv to a steamehgine' boiler is to enav lean attendan t, by means of a thermometerto ldetermine the tempera-1` ture and specificV gravity of the' salinewater `which may hewithin the boileiga portion oi" fsuch water'sbeing causedto iiow iromthe 'boiler through the salinometer orit's measur- Aing-cistern, into which athermorneter or a., hydr'ometer may be placed.

My invention prevei'its the. hot 'waterfront so escaping as' to endanger or iojnreftheiper-f time be using' the apparaf it'mainftains the'water,

@Insthe drawings, A denotes'the measuring orthemnometric' and hydrometric cistern", fthe sa'me consisting of cylindricalvessel, whose axis 4 is vertical, the said; vessel'beng-fu nished "with a"cover,yB, remov-able at pleasure.` Wiih'infthe lower partof the cistern A is the? spray boxer chamber G, whose s ides,rueartsj bottoni', areperf'orated withas'eries of holes,

as shown at a, there being a narrow passage,

jbfbetween the'outsideI curved slirtace'of the spray-box and the inner curved surface of the' cisternA, such passage beingopen at top,and exteiidiu'gf around the entire spray-ehamber; An induction-pipe, D, provided with a stop-` coek orvaivefE, opens into'the chamber O,

and at its top is provided with a curved jet- 44tube, F, which'is bent so as to discharge the' v,hot-Waiter" (when owing out of it) directly.

outside of the latter,

The's'aid pipe'D is toopen' communication `between the chamber C and and so that'thevwafterof theif'alve E may be open, will be caused to -iiow through' the pipe D Vand 4its jet *Rand bediseharged therefrom ydirectly into v the chamber C.

2. With tbe'sad arrangement vof the spraychamber C within the measuring-cistern A, the arrangement of the jet-tube For the spraycbamber-.viz., so as to discharge toward the bottom of the spray-chamber, substantially in manner as described.

3. My improved arrangement of the spraycliamber C, the measurin g-cistern A, the standpipe G, the auxiliary conduit d, and the valve g and its stem h, the whole being substantially as hereinbefore described.
